Potentially creepy question

[Hadjii]

Okay not feeling so wacky now. My family has also been instructed to spread some...not all...of my ashes throughout the MK. I love the thought that I'll be spending time with people who loved WDW as much as me .
I was thinking the Rose Garden would be a nice spot........

I just love it!!!!!! My mom was cremated and we scattered her ashes in her favorite areas. I plan on being cremated when the time comes (claustrophobic -can't stand the idea of being in a box for eternity!! ), and had two ideas of where I wanted the ashes spread, but now you guys have given me a third!

No one has mentioned "Mickey's BURY Merry Christmas Party"

I love this thread!!!!

I agree - very amusing !

I kinda like the idea of the whole put your ashes in the Leave a Legacy drawer at EPCOT. Looks like a graveyard anyway. I personally don't care what happens to my body. I was thinking of donating it to science fiction. I'm booking my spirit a room at the Haunted Mansion to haunt the tourists and maintenance crew. I want to be the 1000th ghost.

Actually Disney did sell a gravestone to be placed in the ride at the Disneyland Haunted Mansion for some god awful amount of money, but they only guaranteed it would remain for 10 years.

Actually all you'd have to do is put the ashes in a shaving canister or something. Security doesn't really look that carefully at the bags. They are just looking for something that says "BOMB" or "TNT" I've had some that didn't even bother to look at all the bags.

I would love to put my ashes in the fireworks during wishes.

OK, we are perhaps a tad too curiously morbid in my family, but when my mother passed away we learned quite a few things about "cremains" (honestly- it was all my Dsis could do not to burst out laughing the 1st time the cremation society guy used this word!). Cremation is conducted at a temperature and for such a length of time that cremains are virtually sterile...until they go into the plastic bag. If you don't spend the $$$ on an urn, you get the cremains in a plastic bag, inside a plain brown box. They are not allowed to mail them to you. My mom was an average sized woman, about 145 lbs- the cremains weighed about 6 lbs. They have the consistency of crushed shells/coarse sand. I don't see how you could scatter ALL of someone in WDW- that pesky security bag check, you know, to say nothing of how sensitive airport security folk are to plastic bags full of white granular substances- but I also don't see how anyone could actually tell what you are doing if you'd choose to discreetly scatter a handful of cremains somewhere. (I think a snack-sized ziplock baggie would fit in your pocket, bystepping WDW security measures!) Having a bit of mass, cremains fall directly down, don't blow around like actual ash would. Who'd know?

BTW, I vote for Magical Scatterings, and with all the property WDW owns, I'm surprised they haven't already subcontracted this service with a local funeral parlor!

At the end of DW's anatomy lab year (where they use the cadavers) they had a really beautiful ceremony where they invited the families of the donors in and presented them with the ashes of their loved ones. It was very dignified, and actually rather touching.

Now that that's out of the way...

Good lawd this thread is funny.

 

[AdventurerKat]

Been done many times before...will be done many times from here on out.

We wont talk about what instructions have been left for my ashes.

 

[Laurajean1014]

Sorry, but I would never think to do this.

But with Disney's regard for keeping everything so tidy, wouldn't the clean commando patrol pick it up quite quickly and incinerate it? So, you're on Disney Property for such a short time! You will end up in a truck filled with Ice Cream Mickey wrappers, water bottles and turkey leg bones........... not my choice of spending eternity in splendor.

I purchased about two dozen little glass vials (they sell them online....who knew?) and filled them with Rich's ashes. It made it rather easy to scatter throughout WDW wherever and whenever we wanted. The security guards didn't even notice them in our bags...

Magical Scatterings....hmmm. Rich would've liked that, but would've insisted that OKW scatterings were a better value for the money

Lisa,
We were at the MK on Friday and I relived some fond memories of Good Ol' Fred. I'm glad part of Rich is resting at MK and that I will get the chance to remeber him each time we are there.

My Dad has sworn for years that this will sooner or later become one more way for "the Rodent" (as he calls him) to make money. I was thinking of how nice it still looks on what they used to call Discovery Island... They could offer a package that includes a boat ride over there... There is still a dock. The driver could wait on you while you scatter the ashes. What Disney fan wouldn't want to end up in Bay Lake? The island is big enough and the ashes wouldn't hurt anything as just the critters live there now... Then again, maybe this is the perfect use for that much-speculated-upon land where "20,000 Leagues" used to be?

I know somebody that did spread ashes in the woods what is now POL.

My God, what a money maker for Disney! They could charge for having your ashes spread over the world showcase lagoon! They could make a whole event out of it. They could cover one of the friendship boats in black bunting {the boat could hold all the mourners,} who would, of course, have to purchase a park ticket to get in, and they could offer hotel packages to all of the attendees. Who would notice a few extra ashes in the lagoon, since they dump a load of pyrotechnics debris in it every night! hey Eisner, you listening? Do you hear a big CHA CHING?!
